Juanita, a 19-year-old single woman
who lives alone, delivered a four-pound, eight-ounce babygirl who was three
weeks premature. Juanita used crack cocaine several hours prior to delivery
because she believed it would make labor easier. She received no prenatal care.

The baby was born with multiple medical
complications and is currently on an apnea monitor. The baby is difficult to
feed, has sleep disturbances, cries incessantly, and exhibits tremors and body
rigidity. The baby has been medically cleared and Juanita wants to take the
baby home. She admits to crack binges but says she will enter treatment when
a slot opens. The hospital makes a referral to CPS. You are assigned to the
case.
